Abstract: The analysis of the series *Puerta 7* (Argentina), *Club de Cuervos* (Mexico) and *Perros de Berlín* (Germany) allowed us to examine the representation of violence and sexism in audiovisual productions. Based on Johan Galtung's Triangle of Violence, three types of violence were differentiated: direct, structural and cultural. In addition, approaches to cultural consumption and mediation were considered in the analysis of television narratives. Research on *Club de Cuervos* has highlighted how the series addressed sexism in sports administration, the representation of gender stereotypes and the influence of the media on the perception of soccer. Satire was identified as a tool for questioning the power dynamics in Mexican soccer and its link to politics and corruption. In *Puerta 7*, the relationship between soccer fan clubs and organized crime was explored, highlighting the participation of women in traditionally male spaces and the way in which violence affects vulnerable sectors. On the other hand, *Perros de Berlín* presented a context of discrimination and structural violence in Germany, with an emphasis on the marginalization of migrant communities and the presence of extremist groups. These studies have shown that football, beyond its role as a sport, has been used as a narrative resource to expose social problems linked to violence, exclusion and power hierarchies.
